An unintentional comedy?
From Dustin Hoffman screaming like a little girl whenever he's in trouble, to Sam Jackson's hilariously blase performance, to Queen Latifa as a submersible officer, this has fubar written all over it.
It's an intruiging premise, but it feels like the filmmakers didn't even understand the material they were working with. The actors seem even more clueless, stumbling through an inane script and acting their hearts out to the point of comedy.
Seriously, there are so many bizarre holes in this movie. For instance, Sharon Stone's character is examing the jelly fish that killed Latifa, and says they are not real jelly fish, not God's creations, but the scene just ends with no explanation as to WHY they are not real jelly fish. Robots? Synthetics? What?
And when Sam Jackson's character wakes up from being in a weird coma after going inside the sphere, his character does a complete 180 and becomes nearly autistic in the way he doesn't seem to be participating in reality, and has a strange sinister vibe to him...yet when Stone and Hoffman's characters go into the sphere, not only do they not go into a coma, their characters stay virtually the same.
This same sinister vibe in Sam Jackson seems to just dissappear for not apparent reason and he becomes seemingly normal again.
Just a weird, weird movie all around.
